And let me guess that the "supported platforms" are going to be mostly
RedHat&co.?
Heh, where did that come from? I kind of hoped you'd noticed we're (Red
Hat) putting effort into widening things from being just Red Hat centric.
*Very* much interested in widening out our officially supported distro's
and platforms.
Why not warning the rest of the packagers, so that each run
their tests?
I actually kind of thinks it's more that our Communication and self
discipline hasn't been as good as needed, looking at the result of
the last two releases. So, this is our opportunity to identify and fix.
With Gentoo, which are the pieces that you reckon are stable enough
that we can document them as being "known good", and rely on them
tested for each new release? Thinking it can't hurt to start getting that
info worked out and put on the site properly.
